people will be able to read what really, and to
inform them about beliefs on the party. Like
Winston, I believe George Orwell wrote 1984 in
order to allow a communist country to be revealed,
the Soviet Union. Orwells goal was to expose the
falsehoods of the Soviet Union as the model of a
socialist state. He also wanted to reveal the
dangers of totalitarianism, the deterioration of
objective truth, and the well thought-out
manipulation of Oceanias common peoples through
propaganda. The Ministry of Truth is where history
and facts both significant and insignificant are
rewritten to reflect the party' ...

1984 By George Orwell - 1,262 words
1984 By George Orwell 1984 is about life in a
world where no personal freedoms exist. Winston
the main character is a man of 39 whom is not
extraordinary in either intelligence or character,
but is disgusted with the world he lives in. He
works in the Ministry of Truth, a place where
history and the truth is rewritten to fit the
party's beliefs. Winston is aware of the untruths,
because he makes them true. This makes him very
upset with the government of Oceania, where Big
Brother, a larger than life figure, controls the
people. His dissatisfaction increases to a point
where he rebels against the government in small
ways. Winston's first act of rebellion is buying
and writing in a diary. Thi ...

A Separate Peace: The Dying Legacy - 1,345 words
A Separate Peace: The Dying Legacy By early 1918
in Russia, the Bolsheviks controlled only the
north-western area of the Russian Empire
(Petrograd and Moscow) together with the areas
between and around them. Various opposition groups
were formed against the Bolsheviks, under the new
Provisional Government. The provisional government
had proposed elections for a new assembly in late
1917; Lenin had seen that the Bolsheviks must act
before this democratically elected government
convened, but once in power, he allowed the
elections to proceed. In the November 1917 polls,
Bolshevik candidates won just under 25 per cent of
the vote, while the moderate socialists polled
over 40 per cent. Lenin sen ...

of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler was born in
Austria on April 20, 1889. Hitler was born to
Austrian customs officials, Alois Schickelgruber

from Austria. Hitler was a resentful and
discontent child who was moody, lazy, and having a
short temper. As a young man Hitler was very
hostile towards his father and strongly attached

of 1908 really had a big impact on his life. After
spending about four years in the Realschule in

anti-Semitic newspaper. The false, but alarming
accusations reinforced Hitler's anti-Semitism.
Soon after, treatment of the Jews was a major
theme of Hitler's orations, and the increasing
scapegoating of the Jews for inflation, political
instability, unemployment, and the humiliation in
the war, found a willing audience. Jews were tied
to internationalism by Hitler. The name of the
party was changed to the National Socialist German
Worker's party, and the red flag with the swastika
was adopted as the party symbol. A local newspaper
which appealed to anti-Semites was on the verge of
bankruptcy, and Hitler raised funds to purchase it
for the party. In ...

Afganistans Apartheid - 1,096 words
Afganistan`s Apartheid Beginning on September 27,
1996, an extremist militia group known as the
Taliban seized control of Kabul, the capital of
Afghanistan. Upon seizing control, the Taliban has
instituted a system of gender apartheid, which has
placed women into a state of virtual house arrest.
Since that time the women and girls of Afghanistan
have been stripped of all human rights including
their voice, visibility and their mobility. The
Campaign to stop Gender Apartheid, led by the
Feminist Majority Foundation, has brought together
numerous human right and womens organizations
around the world to demand an end to the abuses of
the women in Afghanistan. In the 1980s when the
Soviet Union ...

After The Atomic Bomb - 1,201 words
After The Atomic Bomb Introduction The development
and usage of the first atomic bombs has caused a
change in military, political, and public
functionality of the world today. The bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki revolutionized warfare by
killing large masses of civilian population with a
single strike. The bombs' effects from the blast,
extreme heat, and radiation left an estimated
140,000 people dead. The bombs created a temporary
resolution that lead to another conflict. The Cold
War was a political standoff between the Soviet
Union and the United States that again created a
new worldwide nuclear threat. The destructive
potential of nuclear weapons had created a global
sweep of fear as ...

... 1946 the United Nations created the Atomic
Energy Commission to propose peaceful usage of
atomic energy and "eventual elimination of weapons
of mass destruction" ("International Agreements"
1). The Commission's attempt to somewhat control
the usage of atomic energy became a failure when
the Soviet Union vetoed the plan (1). In 1958,
however, conferences between the United States,
Great Britain, and the Soviet Union met in Geneva
to discuss a treaty banning nuclear testing (1).
The three nations agreed on voluntary disarmament
for a full year (1). The voluntary disarmament
seemed like a great leap forward for all three
nations until the Soviet Union resumed testing in
1961 (1). President ...

Albania - 1,470 words
Albania Introduction Today, Albania is a real
mess. What is currently occurring in the region
complicates the situation even further. I'm not
sure what Albania should do for the next ten days,

military and diplomatic policy. Finally, I want to
tie all of this to the idea of adopting the
policies and philosophies of the Western

and protection of the West, can Albania hope to
make progress for itself and it's citizens.

Am Waking From The Dreamerica In The 60'S The
presidential election 1960 was between John F.

Kennedy took the lead. This may have been the 1st

how the Americans managed to become involved in a

Vietnam seemed logical and compelling to American
leaders. Following its success in World War II,
the United States faced the future with
confidence. From George Washington's perspective,
the threat to U.S. security and world peace was
communism emanating from the Soviet Union. Any
